"Your Highness, does he have some back-up plan?"
Zhao Tingfang said with an ugly expression.
Everyone looked strange, and Liu Deng's expression just now was too calm and composed.
"This is impossible! The maximum amount of salt that the imperial court can support him this year is only 30,000 shi. Even if Liu Heng is determined to support him, the next batch of goods will be at least two months later. How dare he still Call on the military reserves?"
Liu Xian knew exactly how much salt the imperial court had, because the salt ponds in Guanzhong had limited production and needed to buy large quantities from the princes and kings every year.
Especially from the State of Wu, Liu Xian replaced Liu Bi more than once to handle the court's purchase of salt. In addition, the King of Wu spread money around Chang'an City, so of course he knew the court's annual consumption very well.
"Then where does this kid have the confidence to challenge us like this? He must not be trying to be tough with us, right?"
Zhao Tingfang reacted immediately. After all, this was still within the territory of Dai Kingdom. If this kid was determined to fight them, there was really nothing they could do.
"Don't worry about this. His country is small and the people are weak. Does he really dare to break up with all the seven countries? If this is the case, where will he go to buy food from now on?"
Liu Xian just thought for a moment and rejected this possibility. After all, it would be too crazy to break up with all seven countries at the same time.
Even the King of Wu does not have the courage. After all, if the princes and kings do not unite, it will be difficult to talk about many things!
"Then where does this kid have the confidence? Could it be that he is bluffing with us?"
Yang Sheng also hesitated, and now it seemed that this was the only answer. This thing was really strange. It was not just Liu Deng who was strange, but all the officials from the top to the bottom of the Dai Kingdom were weird from the inside out.
Originally, there were still some people outside the palace, asking for orders for the people, but today, all the government offices in Dai Kingdom have closed their doors!
Are there really any omissions in this plan?
Apart from these princes and kings, where could Liu Deng buy such a large amount of salt?
"I think this is the only answer. Don't worry about him. Let's just eat, drink and have fun. I don't believe this kid can even conjure salt?"
Hearing what Liu Xian said, the atmosphere suddenly became heated again, and Liu Xian ordered someone to summon the singer.
After three rounds of wine and five delicious dishes, the Uncensored Conference started again in the hall. They were now truly intoxicated.
Waiting until the next morning, seeing that these people still showed no regrets, Liu Deng waved his hand and started adding salt!
"Your Highness, Your Highness, it's not good!"
Liu Xian was still hungover. Yesterday he was too indulgent. Drinking too much wine was harmful to his body. This beauty enjoyed it too much, and his legs were still weak.
"What happened? Why are you so flustered?"
Looking at Yang Sheng's ugly face, Liu Xian almost vomited and said very displeasedly.
"Your Highness, the official warehouses of Daiguo have begun to put salt out, and what they put out this time is all high-quality green salt, which sells for one hundred and fifty jin per catty! Everyone is open to selling, no matter how much you buy, they Sell them all!”
"What did you say!"
After hearing what Yang Sheng said, Liu Xian was stunned.
"How is this possible? This top-grade green salt, shipped here from our country of Wu, costs at least 500 wen, and he actually dares to sell it for 150 wen!"
"This is really true. The salt seller also said that from now on, the people of Dai State can rely on their household registration and each person can buy a pound of the best green salt at a fair price every year!"
The news came one after another, and the blows came one after another. Liu Xian felt that his brain was a little weak.
"How much is the par price?"
"According to the price they announced now, it's 50 yuan per catty!"
"This is impossible! He definitely doesn't have much inventory in hand. He sent people out and gave me all the money we had on hand to collect his green salt. I don't believe he can still produce salt!"
Liu Xian couldn't tell whether he was scared or panicked. The best green salt costs 150 cents per pound. If this kid could really get so much green salt, why would he bother to contact the princes for a little salt all these years ago? Don’t you even want the king’s face?
"Your Highness, we only have 50,000 taels of silver left on hand..."
Yang Sheng hesitated to speak.
"Go get those people up and tell them all the news. Either all the money we had before will be in vain, or we will risk our lives to get all the money left in his hands!"
Liu Xian said with red eyes.
"But……"
Yang Sheng still wanted to say something, but now Liu Xian was like a gambler who was desperate to lose. He couldn't listen to anything he said, and he only wanted to make money.
This situation is actually very dangerous. If Gongsun Gui was here, he might be able to stop him, but if it were Yang Sheng, he really wouldn't be able to do this.
"promise!"
Yang Sheng had no choice but to wake up the shopkeepers one by one. Everyone's expression was similar to Liu Xian's, because this matter was so unbelievable...
In order to increase his persuasiveness, Yang Sheng even sent his servants at home to buy 10 kilograms.
Everyone was crowded together, looking at the salt in the bag. Everyone's face was filled with sadness. Zhao Tingfang suddenly had a bad feeling. No wonder Liu Deng's boy was so confident yesterday. It turned out that he was holding such a hard salt in his hand. trump card.
But where did this thing come from? There were so many people queuing up and down the city. Even if each person only bought two kilograms, the total would be a terrifying number.
There’s no way this thing could have been conjured out of thin air!
One hundred and fifty cents per catty, and the people of Dai State can even get 50 cents per catty by virtue of their household registration. This is simply unbelievable!
"Take it! No matter how much he has, take it all back!"
After a moment of silence, Zhao Tingfang gritted his teeth and said.
Thinking about the money they had invested before, everyone knew in their hearts that if they couldn't obediently force Liu Deng to commit the crime, then just like Liu Deng said yesterday, all of them would be skinned and boned!
Their wives and concubines will become other people's slaves. You can imagine what means the angry princes and kings will use to deal with them if they know that they have lost all their money!
"But, I only have thirty thousand taels of silver left in my hand, what about you?"
After getting angry, Zhao Tingfang calmed down. There was really not much money left in his hand. He had collected too much coarse salt before. That stuff was now all over the pits and grains. Where could he get it at that moment? Where is the silver?
After being reminded like this, everyone was dumbfounded. Yes, they really didn't have much money left in their hands...
